Robin Snell received her Egyptology diploma from the University of Manchester with a focus on animal mummification and paleopathology.

Completing a country-wide mobile exhibition on mummification by the Manchester Museum, her cat mummy is now a part of the Queen’s Treasury in England. For six years, Robin took students, age 12 to 21 years old, to Egypt and Europe as an important campaign of education by traveling. In her travels in Egypt, she has had a private audience with Dr. Zahi Hawass, and met with Josh Bernstein, TV star of “Digging for the Truth” travel series. She is cited in the newly published book on Nefertiti by Dr. Joyce Tyldesley. Once she stands still, she is planning on writing Egyptology books for students age 8 – 14 years old.

Currently, she has an Ancient Egypt Study Group that meets every week to discuss diverse topics of Pharaonic Egypt to modern-day Egyptian Christians.

“You should never stop learning and living your dream, no matter how outrageous it is to others. You can keep climbing life’s greatest pyramids just as well at the age of 55, 65, 75 as you could at 25. Look at me.”

“I knew beforehand that the tour will differ from my assumption about a regular ‘commercial’ trip and I was not disappointed! I have loved every aspect and it will take me a long time now to process what I saw. That is why I cannot choose a single moment as the ‘most exciting or overwhelming’. I started reading ‘A thousand miles up the Nile’ and am amazed how similar were the author’s feelings about Egypt to mine! She says what I feel and am unable to express!!!”
